Card Number Requirements
The field containing the integer 2 represents the card number that is
read from a person’s custom ABA card. The limit is 19 digits. The
largest card number supported is 99999999999999999999. The
structure must be fixed-length when one ore more digits are shared.
See, “Shared Site Code Requirements,” below. The card number must
be entered in the Card Number field on the Personnel editor’s
General tab.
Site Code Requirements
The field containing the integer 1 represents a person’s site. The limit
is five digits. The largest site code supported is 65535. The site code is
optional. If you have a site code, it must be entered in a Site Codes
field on the Personnel editor’s General tab.
Card Issue Code Requirements
The field containing the integer 4 represents digits belonging to the
card issue code (that is, if your site uses issue codes). The limit is 2
digits. CyberStation reads the issue code (one or two digits) from the
card, and attaches the code to the beginning of the person’s card
number, whereby is becomes part of the card number. The card number
is first padded with zeros if necessary until it has the same number of
digits as specified in the CustomABAFormat string.
For example, if a person’s card number is 751, the issue code is 12, and
if the CustomABAFormat string specifies a 6- digit card number, the
resulting card number is:
12000751
CyberStation inserts the issue code in front (to the left) of the card
number.
Note: Because the issue code becomes the first digits (or first 2 digits)
of a person’s card number, you must enter this modified card in
the Card Number field in Personnel objects, so that
CyberStation recognizes the issue code. Using the example
above, you would enter 12000751.
